2011 Speed Triple - Custom Map

I can see the benefit of ECU tuning with a turbo engine on say a car but would never spend that sort of cash on a tune like that for a standard N/A bike

 

Redthunder used Steve Jordans a week or so ago, he says he was happy with them. He'll prob give you the details, but pm him anyway

Yes I am happy with Steve Jordans.

I have a K&N filter and after market silencers with the Cat removed and no O2 sensor, so it was running very different to stock, I did have the correct map for Arrow silencers which was the closest standard map.
With the extra air flow I guessed it would be running lean so I wanted a run on the dyno to make sure the engine would be running as smooth and efficiant as possible, they could create a map for most power if you wanted but this was not what I was after

I turned up at 10:30 and they wheeled the bike in straight away, they were very knowledgable and said what they were doing, what they look for.
They do several runs and have to let the bike cool between, although they have fans it was a hot day and they dont want to risk any chance of overheating.
When they brought my bike out, the techy who was doing the run explanied they do a basic check before the run, oil, chain, coolant etc so it is sound to go ahead. He explained it was running lean and adjusted the map for each stage of throttle position measured in 5% increments, not just at 100% like other dynos.
He said the standard maps work on most bikes, but to get the smoothest/best ride each bike needs its own map. He released about 10% more HP and I noticed the engine pulls smoother, it was smooth before but it can pull from lower in the rev range now.
There is less bubbling and popping on the over run as the fuel mix is correct.

I have the print outs of the before and after of tourque and BHP and also the fuel mix, in the before the fuel mix is just above the minimum throughout the range now it is in the middle where it should be.

It isnt an all singing all dancing garage with bright lights and flags, but I was watching one of the mechanics and he was old school, working steady and methodically and laying the bits of the bike out in specific order and cleaning them as they were put back on.
I spoke to another biker that said he had been bringing his bikes there for years, evan before the warranty runs out on new bikes as they do a better job than the dealers.

The price was fair and I am happy I went there, I left at 12:30

I would say make sure you get all the mods done you want to before taking it in, such as air filters, SAI removal or left in, baffles in/out, really anything that would affect the breathing of the bike.

They can also do the fuel balancing and suspension set up if you wish

If you do go there, take something to read, eat and drink as the village is small and quite a walk.

 

BTW £200 inc VAT

 

What do they cost ??

 

Is that similar to the Triumph Booster Plug from Square Deals for £110?

Linky

• The BoosterPlug is the only Plug and Play device that offers a stabilized enrichment of the mixture with different ambient temperatures.

• Improved and softer throttle response when rolling the throttle on-off.
• Enrichment of Fuel/Air mixture when you open the throttle will improve acceleration.
• Remove the Jerky low speed running that is typical for modern lean burn engines.
• No more Puffing in your aftermarket exhaust on engine braking

 

I just realised I missed a key bit of info, yours is a 2011 model in which case the ECU is locked which is why SJ would not be able to do much!
My 2010 was the last year with the ECU unlocked and can be modified.
So the only real way to improve things is a 3rd party module to modify the timing and/or fuel map.

 

Curious! Mine is a 2014 and the ecu is not locked. At least I can connect tuneECU no worries so I assume that means it's not locked?

 

I was going to go to T3 for a custom tune as he reputedly knows his stuff and uses tuneECU. Ref the Gemini

 

I could be wrong but I think the ECU was unlocked again on more recent models
Good luck with the install and we are interested to hear about the result
